The Subdivision Committee of the Fayetteville Planning Commission
met at 3:30 P.M., Tuesday, November 17, 1970, in the Office of
City Planning, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Members Present: Ernest Jacks, Helen Edmiston, Roy Clinton,
Harold Lieberenz:
Members Absent: None.
The only item for discussion at this meeting was the plans for
Spring Brook Mobile Home Community being developed by Harvey SPRING BROOK MOBILE
Smith, Mr. Lieberenz explained these plans have been before HOME COMMUNITY
the Plat Review Committee and reviewed a corrected copy of the
plans. He called the Committee's attention to the following:
1. The City Attorney has said he does not feel the
Planning Commission has the authority to vary the
requirement for an access road along a controlled
access highway. However, the City Attorney was of
the opinion that the Planning Commission could require
a substitute road location in certain instances.
He further stated that the ROW could be dedicated
and a performance bond put up.
2. The Plat Review Committee had questioned whether to
require a dedication of 5 ft. for ROW on Appleby Road
or merely increase the setback accordingly.
•' 3. On the Major Street Plan an "expressway" with a width
of 100 ft. is shown alongside the railroad. Should this
be interpreted as 50 ft. on each side of the railroad?
4. Ordinance 1509 requires lighting in mobile home parks
to be 0.6 foot candles. Mr. Lieberenz said a survey of
existing mobile home parks shows that nearly all are lit
by gas lights. He would recommend that gas lighting be
acceptable provided there is a gas light on each space.
The Committee felt that:
1. The plat books and maps should be marked to prevent
issuance of any permits, etc, on the remainer. of the
property until a street is developed from the By-pass
down to Appleby Road,
2. An increase in setback of 5 ft. would be satisfactory
on Appleby Road.
3. The interpretation of the "expressway" being 50 ft. on
each side of the railroad tracks is most equitable.
4. Lighting requirements in Ord. 1509 are excessive and
• ordinance should be amended.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:55 P.M.
